The Arizona Republican base is angry after the Legislature changes election rule, putting lawmakers in a pickle

Republican state lawmakers are scrambling to undo parts of a law
they fast-tracked to change the way party activists become party
officials.  Precinct committee members, or PCs, are not people
the casual voters will know, but they play a key role in shaping
party politics and who runs for political office.
Republicans quickly pushed through election changes that
reflect the state's new political boundaries after last year's
redistricting process. The governor signed the bill the same
day. To the surprise of the grassroots and lawmakers themselves,
the law also eliminated elections for PCs.  Changing the
law it requires a legislative super-majority, and the
Democrats aren't eager to help Republicans fix their mistake.
Sparks are flying on both sides of the aisle.   In this
episode of The Gaggle, The Republic's state government reporter,
Mary Jo Pitzl, joins hosts Ron Hansen and Yvonne Wingett Sanchez to
discuss the unexpected drama. Learn more about your ad choices.
